yes storytime is always appreciated.
i remember when i first rolled feeling very nervous about attacking anybody. one day in oasis between killing gators i spotted a little gnome in purple running from a croc, it was clearly going to kill him as he starting running all slow-like. so i as i watched him helplessly running toward me, I thought to myself "im a ROGUE damnit, i should be killing people!" and in this moment of passion, i stabbed the little gnome in the back. his body crumpled and the gator walked away, and i looted the corpse. 14 platinum! omg this guy was walking around with 14 platinum?
then i got some tells, not hate tells but asking why i had killed him. he sounded so sad that i felt bad for him. i lied and told him i had killed him to save him from the exp loss. when he got back, he asked for his plat and i reluctantly returned it. after the exchange, we decided to group together to kill some of those nasty crocs. and from then on we were best friends in EQ, leveling and making chars together for basically years. he told me later that that 14 plat was all the money he owned, none in the bank. and that if i had just killed him and taken it he probably would have quit soon after. he had no friends in EQ, unlike me who played with my brothers. and i guess 14 plat was a lot to lose back in the day, when that was his life savings
